esqueleto.nvim
A Neovim plugin for inserting file templates (skeletons) based on file type or name with wildcard support.
What is esqueleto.nvim?
esqueleto.nvim is a Lua-based Neovim plugin that automates the insertion of code templates, known as skeletons, when creating new files. It reduces repetitive boilerplate code by prompting users to insert predefined templates based on file type or specific file names, speeding up development workflows.
Neovim users, particularly developers who frequently create new files with standard boilerplate, such as Python scripts, LICENSE files, or project-specific templates, and want a configurable, lazy-friendly template management system.
Developers choose esqueleto.nvim for its flexible trigger system (file type and file name), support for multiple template directories, and dynamic wildcard expansion with user-defined or built-in variables like date, Git user, and system info, all with minimal configuration.
